Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the fuck, Elgin?\u201d I finally managed to push him away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I grunted, trying to get out of the car, but he instantly slammed the door shut, making me glare at him as he walked around to the other side and slid back into the driver\u2019s seat, looking smug and satisfied. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you realize what you just did?\u201d I snapped, clenching my fists, trying to calm my nerves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s not make a huge deal out of it,\u201d he muttered with a small smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the fuck do you mean by \u2018let\u2019s not make a huge deal out of it\u2018?\u201d I shot back angrily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just saying, you were trying to avoid the situation. But I knew something was up. So what if I helped you realize what our feelings were? Is that too much to ask?\u201d he reasoned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Instead of feeling guilty, he was questioning me, questioning why I didn\u2019t want to find out if we were mates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFine, we\u2019re mates. Now what? Now I have more questions than before. Why the fuck do I have so many mates? Not just mates, the men I\u2019ve had babies with. Am I feeling this mate bond because, in some twisted way, the Moon Goddess is punishing me for sleeping with three men and having children with them? Or is it something else? Was I always meant to mate with all of you, and that\u2019s why I had a crush on you?\u201d I said between sharp breaths, slamming my forehead with my palm because nothing was making sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was no information about the Grey wolf anywhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, calm down. It\u2019s not that bad,\u201d he murmured.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as he said that, I turned in my seat toward him, and he quickly looked away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe talk to your parents?\u201d he suggested.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment he said that, my whole body tensed. My muscles stiffened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy parents? I don\u2019t have a mother. And my father, he\u2019s an asshole,\u201d I retorted, noticing the way he glanced at\u00a0<\/p>\n
But I knew, unlike Baxter, Elgin wouldn\u2019t complain about me using those words for my\u00a0<\/p>\n
father.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He knew how hard my life had been with that man.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, at least we know your father isn\u2019t special. What if your mother was? You must\u2019ve gotten these grey genes from somewhere,\u201d he said, his tone softening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His words surprisingly helped me relax. I turned my gaze to the window, wondering if maybe he was right.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you know anything about your mother?\u201d he asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I sank back into my seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on, I think you do. You\u2019ve never really talked about her. I remember we asked you many times before,\u201d he continued, driving slowly as he spoke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you please just stop talking? I really can\u2019t hear your voice right now,\u201d I snapped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He smiled, clearly knowing why I was angry with him. But there was another reason\u00a0<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t want to talk about my mother, the only thing I\u2019d ever heard about her was that everyone called her a\u00a0<\/p>\n
whore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the time we arrived at the suite, I rushed to the elevator to check on my kids.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elgin followed me inside, but thankfully he didn\u2019t disturb my peace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once we reached my floor, I didn\u2019t expect someone to already be waiting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right outside my suite, standing in front of the Warriors, was Kaylee, her arms folded over her chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could tell they hadn\u2019t let her in, which I was grateful for.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked like she had been through a lot, from her red eyes and the veins visible on her forehead, to the tension in her expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When her eyes landed on me, I could already tell she was having thoughts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She started walking toward me briskly, but then looked past me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment she saw Elgin instead of Graham, her body seemed to relax.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKaylee, I see you were outside my room. Did you need anything?\u201d I asked softly, not wanting to sound hostile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her husband had been spending most of his time with me, and even though he was my mate, it didn\u2019t justify him cheating on her or expecting her not to feel some kind of way about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere is Graham?\u201d she asked, keeping her voice calm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA situation came up, and he\u2019s at a location trying to make a report,\u201d Elgin explained quickly, stepping in to answer for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat kind of situation? Is he okay?\u201d she asked, genuine concern crossing her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, he\u2019s fine. He and Baxter are handling the issue. Don\u2019t worry, they\u2019ll be back soon. Do you need any help?\u201d Elgin asked, his tone polite.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo\u2013yes. I need to go to the hospital. Can you please tell Graham to come soon? He needs to take me there,\u201d she replied softly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her voice came out like a faint whisper, and I couldn\u2019t tell if she was trying to speak quietly or if something else\u00a0<\/p>\n
was wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Either way, she left after saying that much.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis one\u2019s a weird one,\u201d Elgin muttered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I rolled my eyes at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d he asked, following me into my suite.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside, I found Nina sitting on the couch, her fist resting under her cheek, eyes half\u2013closed as if she were about to fall asleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNina,\u201d I called gently, patting her shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, Madeline\u2014oh my God, you\u2019re back! You\u2019re okay!\u201d she exclaimed, jumping up to hug me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she pulled away, she rubbed her eyes, smearing her mascara in the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can go rest now, okay? I\u2019m here,\u201d I told her, patting her back. She nodded and headed to her room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then I turned to Elgin with a look that said it all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know who\u2019s worse than Kaylee? Silver,\u201d I snapped, reminding him that he couldn\u2019t talk about Kaylee when he was with a much crazier she\u2013wolf.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, don\u2019t state the obvious, I know that. And it\u2019s not like I slept with her because I wanted to. I told you, I was drunk that night. She showed up out of nowhere, and who knows, maybe she even took advantage of me,\u201d he grumbled, sounding frustrated that I was bringing it up again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honestly, at that point, I felt guilty for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
